Motorola Droid 2 was the first smartphone to launch with Android 2.2 Froyo pre-installed. However, not so long after the Droid 2 was released, Verizon has decided to roll out an OS update for Motorola Droid 2. This time, Verizon has made the Motorola Droid 2 OS update available via OTA (Over the Air)

Samsung Galaxy S is surely one Android smartphone that everyone love. It was released with Android 2.1 Eclair, and with the announcement of Android 2.2 Froyo; it is understandable that Galaxy S owners wants to get the latest Android OS update.

However, there is a bad news for Samsung Galaxy S owners from Vodafone. Just recently Vodafone has decided to end their Samsung Galaxy S warranty if you’re upgrading the “unapproved” Android OS.

This means that even though you’re updating the Android OS from the official Samsung’s website; your Samsung Galaxy S warranty from Vodafone will be void. You have to get the Android OS update directly from Vodafone.

But don’t get too afraid though. You won’t be breaking any Samsung’s warranty.

The hive of Motorola Droid X is not over yet, and we all agreed that the Motorola Droid X specs and features are quite impressive. However, the fact that Motorola and Verizon didn’t present the Android 2.2 Froyo have made some people a bit disappointed.

But not for long. Just recently we’ve heard that the Android 2.2 Froyo update for Motorola Droid X will be unveiled soon, since Motorola have confirmed that the Droid X Android Froyo update is “scheduled for deployment by early September”.

Previously, there were many rumors about the Android Froyo update for Motorola Droid X. One rumor said that it will come in August 6, while the other said that the Motorola Droid X Android Froyo update is scheduled to be released on late August or in the late summer.

Now that we got Motorola confirmation on this matter, what stand between all of us and the  Motorola Droid X Android Froyo update is just time. Drop some comments below to share your thoughts.

well if that rumor is really true, how great it would be? Just recently AndroidSPIN spilled a rumor on the T-mobile G1 and its OS, the Android.  This rumor has no basis, so… try not to take it with exaggerated excitement :)

Anyway, just as I told you, it seems that Android 2.0.1 (and also the Android 2.0) will soon arrive on T-Mobile’s G1…. our source said that those OS are being prepared OTA updates.

As I said earlier, if the rumor is true this could be a great news for all of you T-Mobile G1 owner out there…. So let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best :)

What’s hot right now? Well, it is the announcement of the iPhone OS 3.1 Beta last night. Soon after the official release of the iPhone OS 3.1 Beta; developers have been working (or should I say, playing) with the brand new iPhone OS 3.1 Beta. There’s no official information about the change log of the new iPhone OS 3.1 from iPhone OS 3.0; but some people have made a list of it. This list came from unofficial source, but I believe that the data is quite reliable :)

So here’s what’s new in the iPhone OS 3.1 Beta:

  • You can now trim a video clip in a saver way, in this case, the new OS 3.1 gives you the “Save as copy..” Option.
  • Options for MMS are back on AT&T, but not sending or receiving.
  • Voice Control now works over Bluetooth
  • Moving icons becomes interesting since now the iPhone will vibrates when you do that:)
  • Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
  • Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01
  • Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz
  • APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them

So that’s about it. It’s kinda nice, huh? Good luck then, developers…. I wonder what’s the new OS looks like in the new iPhone 3G S
